Phenotypic Profile
Category Entity Quantity Experimental Paradigm Age at Testing
Neuroanatomy / Ultrastructure / Cytoarchitecture Neuronal number: interneurons1
Abnormal
Description: Mutants show decrease in number of parvalbumin positive interneurons in primary somatosensory cortex, but not primary visual cortex or in the basolateral amygdala.
Exp Paradigm: Primary somatosensory cortex, primary visual cortex, basolateral amygdala

Immunohistochemistry 6 weeks
Repetitive behavior Repetitive digging1
Decreased
Description: Mutants show decrease in the number of marbles buried.
Exp Paradigm: NA

Marble-burying test 6-8 weeks
Sensory Tactile memory1
Decreased
Description: Mutants show decrease in preference for the object with the novel texture.
Exp Paradigm: NA

Textured novel object recognition test (t-nort) 6 weeks
Sensory Sensorimotor gating: tactile cue1
Increased
Description: Mutants show increased responsivity to an air puff stimulus delivered to back hairy skin.
Exp Paradigm: NA

Response to air puff 6 weeks
Sensory Sensorimotor gating: tactile cue1
Increased
Description: Mutants exhibited hairy skin hypersensitivity, measured by an increase of tactile prepulse inhibition of an acoustic startle response assay.
Exp Paradigm: NA

Prepulse inhibition 6 weeks
